Can you really call yourself a homesteader or self sufficient if you don’t bake with sourdough? For the longest time I was scared of starting sourdough! But it is far easier than I ever imagined.

Though.. I have to admit we went the easy way out and got an established sourdough starter from my sister to learn with.
We’ve had a blast baking with sourdough and have uncovered so many recipes that we can use sourdough for.
I have always loved baking, but for many years had stepped out of the kitchen and let Farmer J take the reins. But sourdough has given me a new found love for all things cooking. In fact, I’ve cooked and baked more in the four weeks we’ve had the starter than I have in the past year on The Ridge.
We’ve tried recipes like:
- Chocolate Chip Sourdough Discard Banana Bread
- Sourdough Discard Pancakes
- Sourdough Bread Loaves
- Sourdough Discard Bagels
- Sourdough Naan Bread
And the list is sure to grow from here! If you bake with sourdough, what recipes would you recommend us try next? Share your tips and recipes in the comments below.
